Abstract
We propose and experimentally realize the recording of two-color holographi c gratings in Mn:YAlO3, a potential material for holographic data storage. This type of recording allows for nonvolatile retrieval of recorded informa tion at the recording wavelength. We demonstrate two-color recording and re adout of a 256 X 256 pixel page using red and green laser beams with a bit error rate of 6 x 10(-7). (C) 2001 Optical Society of America.
